The Wife (2018)

The Wife (USA, 2018, drama, 100m, R)

Joan and Joe (Glenn Close, Jonathan Pryce) remain complements after nearly 40 years of marriage. Where he is casual, she is elegant. Where he is vain, she is self-effacing. And where he enjoys his very public role as the great American novelist, she pours her considerable intellect, grace, charm and diplomacy into the private role of a great man’s wife.

As Joe is about to be awarded the Nobel Prize in literature for his acclaimed and prolific body of work, Joan starts to think about the shared compromises, secrets and betrayals.
